Chapter 342: Rescuing Peirong

"Shiyi!" Li Jinghan fixed his deep, solemn gaze on Liu Shiyi and said with a steady voice, "Don't act recklessly. Put the knife down!"

"I won't—" Liu Shiyi dragged Xu Peirong backward several steps and cried, "Your mother bullied me! You have to help me get revenge!"

Xu Peirong looked weakly at her son, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"Shiyi, don't cry for now, listen to me," Li Jinghan coaxed her gently, trying to make her lower her guard.

"What my mother did to you back then was wrong. I'll apologize on her behalf, okay? Just put the knife down. Whatever it is, we can talk about it when we're back home." Li Jinghan spoke as he carefully observed her every move.

"I don't want an apology! What's the use of apologies? I'm neither human nor ghost now; I'll never go back to how I was before! I don't want your pathetic apologies!" Liu Shiyi yelled furiously, and her arm tightened even further around Xu Peirong's neck.
